This year, a slew of our favorite brown girls are heating up the pages of Sports Illustrated for its 50th anniversary “Swimsuit Edition.” Chanel Iman, a staple on high fashion runways, makes her debut appearance in a series of sexy swimsuits; hardly a far cry from her Victoria’s Secret garb.

“Well Sports Illustrated gave me the opportunity to model swimwear, and I’ve never done any swimwear, I’ve always done lingerie. It’s definitely an experience for me being my first time,” says the seasoned pro.

It’s also a first time for Slylar Diggins. The WNBA rookie transports her athletic bod from the basketball court to the sandy beaches; who says ball players can’t channel their inner bombshell?!
